Draculcommander 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Does anyone have strange tratagies that they use that are good? Like how I always capture techbuilings on Islands and build a service depot and War Factory Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 6, 2005 That is not a stange strategy. Most people will use tech buildings to set up secondary bases. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted February 7, 2005 What you mean like when I build 10 war miners and get them into vertarns stages then go invade backed up with tanks? Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted February 7, 2005 How about beating a n00b with War Miners outright? Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 7, 2005 Elite war miners are actually pretty strong. How about a 10,000 conscript rush. Very dangerous if you have the cloning vat. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted February 8, 2005 That won't work. I'd see you doing that and build 5000 dogs. Or terror drones..... Or a couple of desolators. Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted February 8, 2005 You can't control that many units simultaneously - and I'm pretty sure 10000 units wood crash the game Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 8, 2005 It was exagerated for effect. No I have done that, I have stopped what seemed like 10,000 conscripts rushing at me with maybe 8 seals. Terror drones would be good against them, but if you watch them attacking infantry, their ROF isnt actually that fast. The lag in between is just long enough for even a few infantry to take one out. And 10,000 is a lot, even for 2000 terror drones. But you could train a few rocketeers and or a Seal team, and let them own the conscripts. Share this post Link to post
alleylee 0 Posted February 12, 2005 lol... war miner elite is creepy... and you can only control 126 units at the same time... i think.. Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 13, 2005 Just currious, where did you come up with 126? I know I'v had close to 300 paratroops deployed around the map at one time, in addition to my tanks and navy, but I never controlled them all at once. Share this post Link to post
CNCKid 0 Posted February 13, 2005 Wow, thats a lot of units. But yeah, that would crash the game. Share this post Link to post
chickendippers 1 Posted February 13, 2005 There is a "control limit" this is the number of units you can have selected at one time. I have no idea what the total number of units you can have on the map at one time is though. Share this post Link to post
alleylee 0 Posted February 14, 2005 126 is number of units that you can control at the same time... not the number of units you can have on the map... i have over a thousand once because i set the paradrop setting to 250 and i dropped... 4 times!!! lol... i know you can have more... just lag... lots of it...

Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 15, 2005 I know what you mean about the control limit. O nTS skirmishes when you play at tech level 1, all you can train is infantry, so it helps to have a few hundred. But you have to control them in groups, otherwise some get left behind. Share this post Link to post
Mario 0 Posted February 15, 2005 yeh if u culd play it on a supercomputer i imagine u culd control thousands of units at once Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 40 Posted February 15, 2005 Even on a supercomputer, your controlling power would still be limited. :roll: Computer has NOTHING at all to do with it. The game engine determines how many units may be controlled at one time. Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted February 15, 2005 If you want to control lots of units go play Rome Total war. Lots of killing. Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 15, 2005 If you want to control lots of units, BfME lets you control them in many many squads. And in armies too. Then again, why storm them with a billion units? Personnaly, theres more to gloat about if a little stike team can waste a big army than if they clashed, and one beat the other. Share this post Link to post
alleylee 0 Posted February 16, 2005 i never played it... i prefer to stay on yuri's revenge... large armies, with limits... that's always good.... because i don't think my computer can stand the army size... as in it will crash.. hehe... anyways, it is always better to learn to use a strike team, then a large army...

alleylee 0 Posted February 16, 2005 not as bad as mine... my lags down with 20 IFVs in the same place... Share this post Link to post

Yes, stike team good. Able to opperate without support. Very good. not as bad as mine... my lags down with 20 IFVs in the same place... 20 ifvs? Thats hardly any. You need to up-grade, dude.

GeneralZ 0 Posted February 16, 2005 yup, i've had so many kirovs, and GIs on the map: i reduced everything cost to 100, reduced build time to 1 second, and increased ore value. It was insane!!, and no lag I had so many kirovs, i maxed out the icon in the war factory section like around 10 time.... 30 x 10= ~300 Kirovs!! And that was just me!!. Share this post Link to post
